1:16:03
Come in.
1:16:09
I got your message.
1:16:11
So I see.
1:16:19
- I'd love a drink.
- I've only got hard liquor.
1:16:22
You're probably on duty. I've noticed
you're rarely off duty these days.
1:16:27
Whisky'd be fine. People change.
1:16:30
Or maybe they just never were
what we thought they were.
1:16:36
Who of us is, Thomas? Who of us is?
1:16:47
You want to talk about General Thé?
1:16:49
Yes. And Mr Muoi.
1:16:52
And Diolacton.
1:16:59
- We met with Thé this afternoon.
- He's in Saigon?
1:17:02
Come to see how his explosives worked?
1:17:05
His original target was a military parade.
1:17:08
We were pretty tough on him.
1:17:10
Did you tell him you wouldn't support him?
1:17:12
- We told him if he
steps out of line again...
1:17:14
- He tried to kill you
on the road to Saigon.
1:17:17
No. He tried to kill you.
1:17:22
You knew?
1:17:24
I suspected that he might try something.
Or one of his officers.
1:17:28
So I tagged along just in case.
1:17:30
You're a fool if you think
you can control General Thé.
1:17:33
In a war, you use the tools you've got.
1:17:35
Right now, he's the best we have.
1:17:38
And in the meantime,
even more people must die.
1:17:41
Last year the US government
gave $210 million
1:17:44
in military assistance
to the French in Indochina.
1:17:47
If we are going to stop communism
and underwrite a third way,
1:17:51
we need to give the people
a leader who they admire.
1:17:55
Tomorrow when Congress reads
the sees the photographs
1:17:58
of the communist atrocities,
they are going to give us that support.
